Research on Jet Noise Generation and Suppression, Phase 1
Abstract
Experimental and analytical investigations on jet noise generation and suppression have resulted in a verification of the concept that jet noise is uniquely related to mean flow velocity distribution in the jet wake. Advances have been made in analytical techniques for calculating aerodynamic properties of free jet flow and the related acoustic properties of the flow and verification of the assumption that negligible attenuation of sound occurs during propagation through multi-element jet flows has been achieved. Investigation of selective water injection as a jet noise suppression scheme has indicated little promise for in-flight noise reduction. Studies of noise generation by high temperature and high pressure ratio jets have extended the state-ofthe-art in the area of high temperature flow noise suppression, and have resulted in a means for predicting total acoustic power beyond the limits of applicability of the Lighthill parameter.
